East Deanery is a six-bedroom, 13th Century Grade I listed private residence with a rich history, nestled in an elevated position within the South Church area of Bishop Auckland. This ancient building, which dates back to 1292 and was once a collegiate establishment, is steeped in medieval charm and architectural significance. It features a stone spiral staircase, medieval grave covers repurposed as door lintels and plaques, stone arches, and mullion windows, all of which speak to its storied past. The property currently encompasses a ground floor that is utilized for storage and recreational purposes, with substantial potential for renovation and redevelopment. The first and second floors are configured as a family home, complete with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, boot room, laundry, utility room, and three bedrooms. This is a rare opportunity to restore and repurpose a national treasure, which could be adapted for multi-generational living or split into two separate residences, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The estate extends to approximately 1.42 acres, including 0.58 acres of grassland, several outbuildings, and substantial gardens, offering potential for a smallholding or similar agricultural venture. The property also benefits from its own water, electricity, and drainage connections, as well as a solid wood-fired central heating system, with the added convenience of a nearby mains gas connection. East Deanery is conveniently located for access to local amenities, transport links, and major roads, including the A1(M), while being situated just a stone's throw from the historic city of Durham and the bustling market town of Darlington.
